Default 2021 tri glide - thermostat?

Does the 2021 tri glide have a thermostat in the coolant system or does the temp sensor just run the fans and coolant pump on demand?

The pump runs all the time, as long as the engine is running.

However, there is a temp sensor (part #32700066) on the bottom of the left side radiator. This is for the fans...as the temp threshold is met, the fans activate to provide additional cooling to the coolant circulating.

Thanks Kevin. Someone asked if there was a thermostat but I could not see one in the schematics (parts list) I was able to access.

The 2014 - 2016 Twin Cooled TC had a thermostat but it looks like it was eliminated when the new style coolant pump came out for the M8 Twin Cooled.
